Hi Nurse37
Thanks for writing in
The information provided points to probably an inguinal hernia, yet a clinical examination would be confirmatory
You will need to see a surgeon as there is no medical treatment for the same
In the mean time ask him to stop smoking as increased intraabdominal pressure as in coughing will increase the hernia and the dragging pain
Smoking in all forms is hazardous irrespective of a positive family history of cancer
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern
Wishing your husband a speedy recovery
